This is a repost, of a comment in a thread about posts on Reddit about Reddit, from Reddit, in a response to a response to a comment about Reddit as a reply to "This is a post about Reddit" which is a comment about a post about Reddit that uses a meme-format commonly used on Reddit that has most certainly been used to comment about the state of Reddit on Reddit using a meme instead of text about Reddit by a Redditor on Reddit using Reddits servers to store the meme about the state of Reddit on Reddit so it can be seen by other Redditors on Reddit but instead of being posted on Reddit it was posted on Lemmy.

Which is an alternative to Reddit because Reddit gatekept it's API, which is used to interact with Reddit directly instead of scraping Reddit, beyond 100 calls to Reddit per minute per API key distributed by Reddit on Reddit instead of per user of Reddit of each API key distributed by Reddit on Reddit meaning all users of a 3rd party app for Reddit would have to share those 100 calls to Reddit per minute of using those 3rd party apps for Reddit, and the CEO of Reddit Steve Huffman spread lies on Reddit using the text post function on Reddit and replies to other Redditors that replied to his post on Reddit about Apollos creator (Apollo is a 3rd party app for Reddit) who used Reddits reply function to spread awareness on Reddit about the state of Reddit and the way Reddits CEO talked mad shit about him.

This reads like a law.

Written on kbin.social which is one of the kbin instances for kbin that is pretty much interoperable with Lemmy but has a different interface than Lemmy because it's kbin and most certainly has a different kbin backend as well and it's the website (kbin.social which is an instance of kbin) that I used to write this repost of a comment in a thread about posts on Reddit about Reddit, from Reddit, in a response to a response to a comment about Reddit as a reply to "This is a post about Reddit" which is a comment about a post about Reddit. Which is one of the ways I spent thinking about Reddit for a far too longI'm Gaytime today which kind of destroys the point of this post about Reddit which has been replied to with "This is a post about Reddit" which has gotten a comment about Reddit and a response to a comment about Reddit on Lemmy by three users, each on a different Lemmy instance, which made everyone that participated think longer about Reddit today than they otherwise would have if they hadn't seen this post about Reddit, "This is a post about Reddit", the comment about Reddit, and the response to a comment about Reddit and lastly this lengthy repost in response to a response to a comment about Reddit on a comment about Reddit that is a reply to a comment about this post that says "This is a post about Reddit", and everyone that read this comment has wasted even more time than if they had only seen the post about Reddit, the comment saying "This is a post about Reddit", the reply saying it's a comment about Reddit and the response to that comment saying it's a response to that comment about Reddit.

I ain't proof-reading allat.

I might be able to explain the last part, since i'm guilty of it recently in a different regard.

I started a new community,!imageedits@lemmy.zip. To start a new community though, you need content. but the community type is intended to be users submitting content to edit, and myself and others edit as requested. I feel silly making posts just to complete them "for myself" and I'm too lazy to go look for interesting content to edit. So, I go to /r/psbattles or whatever, scalp a popular battle image, and post it to my community. along with an edit. makes me feel less silly while also generating some content that help showcase what the community can be used for. After I get maybe 1 page of stuff, slowly, I'll post to a "new communities" area to advertise my community.

When people are pulling /reposting content from Reddit, its because they want to help Lemmy grow, and not just lurk, but they dont have any good new content to share. I would rather people repost here and there, and communities have content, versus everyone lurking, and OC slowly trickles in.

TL;DR - theres a general understanding that adding content right now is critical because people that are new transitions may get bored with lack of content and leave. and many of us aren't on reddit at all now, so it not a "repost" to us.
